The Bengals need a beast at RG, and a strong, young talent to develop at RT.  Sure, I could use a center to push Hopkins as well, should a player like Humphrey fall all the way to our 3rd round pick, but I am not picking Sewell at #5.

The offensive line came pretty far last year.  Now you add Reiff, and most certainly a draft pick for RG, and the offensive line should be solid.  Give Burrow an elite weapon like Chase, and watch him serve up 30-burgers on a weekly basis.  

Yep.
If the Bengals were to roll out with Williams and Reiff at OT, Hopkins at C, and Spain and XSF at G, defenses will attack the Gs.
If Price is in at C, they are going to attack the entire IOL.
